aith the sole purpose ~ making them
producers, the history of m.niI. anu
the sum total Of its results would make
a vastly different exhibit from that
shown at the present time.
This vast industry holds within itself
more positive, reliable, i~nexhaustible
elements of success than any other
branch of business in this country, and
that it has not been able to make a
better showing, is not due to the lack OF
any essential requisite in Itself, but to
inexperience, acknowledgement, dishon-
esty and \ failure on the part Of those
interested to fully comprehend it in its
true light. The indisputable logic OF
positive figures and statistics shows that
this vast industry, the development OF
which is so important to the prosperity
of this country, is beginning to be better
understood. Men comprehend as never
before, that upon a business basis alone,
can the best results be secured, and that
it is practically impossible to succeed
until this truth has become the end and
aim Of every plan and etiort.-Chicago
Mining Review.

Gov. Hannifin advances the following
ideas on the questions of legislation
which should enlist the attention of the
third house:
Il believe in antagonizing all four
sections Of Dakota at once. | am an
antagonizer in everything, from politics
to religion. This harmony fake doesn't
suit me at all, and as squatter gov-
ernor of the territory, l want to feed
these political gangs on bitter roots and
vinegar, and organize the north, the
a square, free-for-ail Donnybrook fair.
An important measure, and one which
should receive the immediate attention
of the sovereigns is that of taxing those
mining blocks in the Black Hills. Here.
tofore they have not antied, but hay
held the biggest hands in the game, and
their rake-ofis have been greater than
any of the men who have been com
PEELED to put down the dust whenever
the t~ax-co.lec,or shuftles the cards.
They have been living in California
and running their bullion out of their
territory in cast-iron, bullet-prooi
coaches, and think it is time we called
'em. Yes said the governor as he but
toned his IA and wheeled about to
enter the sinch room, i expect to de-
liver my message in q few days, and |
will give the boys n few tips on how to
deal Pushes to our friends and cold deck
onr enemies at every point in the game.
My motto for the great seal Of the third
house is war to the knife, knife TO the
hilt. Ever ready to stake a friend and
sinch an enemy"

with the reasons given for his absence.
Still the democrats had thirty members
present to twenty-nine republicans, and
they resolved to proceed, The republic
cans failed to secure an adjournment.
A motion to proceed to ballot for U. s.
senator was objected to by the republic

that the vote should be taken on the
second Tuesday after the organization
Of the legislature. and the senatorial
half Of it was not organized The dem
ocrats replied that the failure to organ
ize was the result Of revolutionary
methods by the republicans, and tina,

further. The house then proceeded to
vote on the question Of taking a ballot,
and it prevailed by the vote of the thir-
ty democrats. The republicans Except

democrats is illegal and will not stand.
They will persist in refusing to vote.

Let us hold a meeting and talk unity

With the close Of this week closes our
four months term Of school with a dim
outlook for another term to soon follow.
In a corporate town as this is where
over 40 scholars are enrolled steps
should be taken to have nine months
of school and interest should not be al
lowed to lack until another term is
secured to last until the summer vaca-
ton in the latter part of June. All
parents who have children Of school
age do not want them running at large
in the streets. The proper place for
them is in the school where they may
be learning something beside deviltry.
Try and have the school board meet
here at their earliest possible convent
ence and see what success may be had
toward having IA spring term Of school.
